Sheet Pan Dinners

Sheet Pan Dinners

When you need a quick, easy dinner that doesn’t take much effort, sheet pan dinners are the thing to do. They’re also a great way to serve big groups in a hurry. Here are a couple of Sheet Pan Dinner Variations on recipes from Always Delicious – Herb Roasted Root Vegetables page 214 and Summer Grilled or Roasted Vegetables page 215. Let us know what you think!

Sheet Pan Vegetables

Chicken and Root Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner

Chef Dawn Ludwig
A perfect choice when you want a satisfying, one-pan meal that needs very little oversight and results in very few dishes to clean. This is a simple variation on the Roasted Root Vegetables from Always Delicious page 214. While I love the Mustard Vinaigrette because it’s the easiest sauce to make, you can also create interesting flavor profiles with some of our other sauces like a Basil Walnut Pesto, Always Delicious page 297 or even a Spicy Asian Marinade, Always Delicious page 294.

Total Time 1 hr
Course Main Course
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 4-6 chicken leg quarters (leg and thigh), with skin and bone
  • 4-6 cups root vegetables, cut into large chunks (onion, carrot, rutabaga, parsnip, celeriac, kohlrabi, etc.)
  • 2-3 cups cooked chickpeas or other beans (optional)
  • 1/3 cup Mustard Vinaigrette (Always Hungry? pg. 264)
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Use roast setting if available.
  • Toss the chicken and vegetables with the Mustard Vinaigrette, lifting the chicken skin to get the sauce underneath. Spread evenly onto a large baking sheet or into a shallow baking pan, then lightly sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 45 minutes to an hour or until the chicken is done throughout and the juices run clear.
  • If you chose not to add beans to the sheet pan, serve with fruit (slow carb) for dessert and perhaps a bit of cream if you need extra fat.
  • Phase 2 Variation: Add chunks of sweet potato or winter squash as slow carb veggies or serve over leftover grain in addition to the beans and dessert.

Notes

Nutrition (Full Meal - Phase 1)

Serve each person 1 chicken leg quarter, 1.5 cups vegetables, and 1 serving Cauliflower Couscous (Always Delicious pg. 211). For dessert, enjoy 1/2 cup berries.

Chicken and Summer Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner

Chef Dawn Ludwig
Roasting like this takes less oversight than a grill and brings all the flavor you need for a perfect summertime feast. Try this with other sauces that you love as well. This is a simple variation on the Roasted Summer Vegetables from Always Delicious page 215. While I love the Mustard Vinaigrette because it’s the easiest sauce to make, you can also create interesting flavor profiles with some of our other sauces like a Basil Walnut Pesto, Always Delicious page 297 or even a Spicy Asian Marinade, Always Delicious page 294.
